29 yr old/F. I have a queststion regarding the safest steriod for me. I am 105 lbs and can't gain weight for the life of me. Tried all weight gainers, no success. I have a nice shape but skinny legs!!! I heard primo or wintrol was the safest as far as side effects. I want to put on 10 lbs. Can you steer me in the right direction and am interested in the smallest dosage possible for this type of gain. Thanks  IP: Logged |

Gaining 10 lbs for you is a 10% increase in body mass, and thats HUGE. Yes it can be done. And you will need to start eating. Post your typical diet and I'll bet your not getting enough. GAining weight is SIMPLE! Eat more calories than you burn. This is assuming you do not have any medical condition... Also some info on your workout schedule. Also read every post on this board. Your question/info you have on the safest roid proves you have not taken much time to do your homework. Read read read!!! So give some details Late Lobo IP: Logged |

jtconnor - aside from the "roid" issue......How hard do you train your legs? I don't have a problem in that area as my legs are very similar to Monica Brants! You may want to try doing some squats, hacksquats, walking lunges, leg extns., leg curls, i.e. Do all of these but w/ low reps for 4-5 sets. I've had a couple of friends do this - based on my advice - and they all started to pack on the muscle! Good luck! IP: Logged |

Women doing low reps with more weight!?! Is this truly the way to gain mass!?!? THIS IS ANARCHY! Finally someone else is speaking the truth. Training for growth is no different from men. Fitnes1 I salute you! I've been trying to make this point for sooo long! My favorite program is the pyramid. Start with a lighter weight for a say 12 reps - also helps to warm up the muscles. Then stack on the weight and decrease the reps. Go until you can only do 2 reps. Then do one more set at 2 reps. Then the last set, cut the weight in half and do as many reps as you can - burn baby burn!!! LAte Lobo IP: Logged |

Pasta "sauce" is good  And now you have my Italian side shinning through! But remember, sauce is the easy part, it is everything else that requires the dedication and hard work to achieve the results....Eat & train, eat & train, �tis the only way to get muscle. Late Lobo IP: Logged |

Lets make that three.... Where's the nearest Italian resturant... Oh, that Chicken Parm... I make a killer one... Its nice to hear that women are doing less reps, and with more weights... So many at my gym look like they are pumping up a tire.... NoLimits... IP: Logged |

You want to train hard, BUT you do not want to overtrain! Many hard gainers like myself lift and lift, but don't see any gains. One of the main reasons is because they are lifting too much, and not giving the muscles time to grow. If you find yourself struggling to ever get to the gym, prolonged soarness, muscles twitching (especially eyes), etc. give your body a rest. Use multijoint (core) exercises, lower the reps and sets, eat quality protein, and have fun. Key exercises - squat, deadlift, bench press, military press (front), dips, lunges, pull ups, and don't forget abs for support. MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER! IP: Logged |
